I just joined the forum. I have a 1956 Olds Super 88 Holiday 2 door hardtop. The car runs and drives well. I need to replace the brakes and from suspension parts for wear but nothing major. The car is still all original paint and all. I need to have it repainted but I am trying to decide how far to go in the process. I think it would be a shame to do a complete restoration since the car is complete and in good condition.

I have already sent out all of the door panels to be redone and will be getting the seats done next. I do need to find a Super 88 interior door emblem. If someone has one or knows where I can get one let me know.

 

Nice looking car! Welcome to CO.

 

Great looking Olds! Welcome to CO!!

 

Lots of 56 owners on the site who are willing to offer tips and information. Looks like a solid car. I would do a complete repaint as the original paint will be hard to match in all of the ares that need attention. Just my two cents.

 

Welcome to our site!

 

Looks like you have a solid car that does not need a lot of work.

I just finished painting my kitchen...I will bring the rollers, brushes and paint.

Oh, you wanted it done the right way? You will have a nice long Winter to get the body work done.

 

Welcome aboard

Vera nice

 

Good lookin car, going to be a fun project., Welcome to CO and keep the pictures coming, Dan
